LoupGarou

Hey lady! Now, watch me completely forget how to play the game, this will be embarassing.....going to patch and sort out, might be in later once I read up so I'm not such a total n00b

Gah....the Going Rogue thing was too difficult to resist.

Bonjou. Konmen?

Poker night is coming up again this week, Tuesday evening! The Fourth has a new member or two, and it'd be a great opportunity to get some rp going and get to know more of the community, so come along. Tis rumoured Jean-Luc has an announcement to make as well about the Fourth Wall itself.

(No worries; if you want to use the Fourth as well, let me know, poker night is coming up)

(I lol'ed. So got to introduce you to Powerdrive, they can be cranky farts in a corner together).

Hey mate, glad to see you last night and I hope you enjoy your rp time in the Fourth.

Reading material for you so you know what's what:

The Fourth Wall Rules and background. Just so you know what's expected of you in the SG. Understand it's primarily a place for roleplay, and you're free to group wherever. If you do find a roleplaying Supergroup you really like you're welcome to join them as well, but the Fourth Wall is coalitioned with several of them in any event, so it's all like one big SG in the end.

Roleplay tips and tricks. Main post is vital reading. The rest is more in depth stuff once you have the basics down. Will give you a good start.

It was my pleasure to introduce you to the NHU folks - lots of rp going on, so it might have been a bit overwhelming but you did well! I'll try and get you introduced to a few contacts from other guilds as well so you can get a feel for decent rp.

Again, if you've got questions, just ask, and remember "VOLUME."

It does actually work, Dark, but what it requires is the dealer to deal out hands in RL, then say them privately to each person (I believe is the system). Infinitron and Bombshot have it down to a science at the moment, and it works very nicely. Keeping track of the bets takes a bit more skill, but it works pretty well.

We'll try again for next Tuesday - also, note we have actually found an AWESOME place to do the same thing on Redside at some point; the old monkey-rings in Sharkhead Isle, perfect place for some arpee. We'll see if we can get some interested parties together.

I actually had some RL to deal with, and I'm not sure Bombshot logged in either.

What we might want to do is teach a few interested parties how the poker system works so that anyone can fill the dealer role as needed as it is a fair bit of fun. I have no head for numbers or card games however, but if anyone would like a go, feel free to step up.

Hey there, it's that time again! Poker Night at the Fourth Wall. Infinitron and Bombshot have a really good system for this and so far it's working well. Come on along as you like for rp and losing/gaining pixelated cash.

See you there tonight.

Just a reminder, folks, this is happening again tonight at 8:30pm. Come along for some rp and come try your beginners luck! Looking forward to seeing people there.

I need to remind myself to get pictures of the Fourth Wall up here.

Aye, it's a go, whisky on (but no scotch till I rp with Powerdrive again, poor man!). There are several people who I attempted to get into the Fourth Wall SG but timing has been off and they have asked repeatedly, so that's completely my bad Radioactive Emi I'm looking right at you my dear. Bombshot, if you find her before I do, hook her up so she can get into the Fourth, mate.

And we'll see you lot next Tuesday at 8:30!

Gah, thanks for stepping in to do the job then, mate, do appreciate it! We'll try and make this a regular thing. With the weather so nice lately I really can't be arsed to log ingame but I may try and make the meet next week.

So, next Tuesday, let's have another go! If anyone has some screenshots, go ahead and post them if you like.

Righto people, the first poker night is on this Tuesday evening, behind hosted by Bombshot. If you're new to the Fourth, please review the rules for the space here at Fourth Wall. It is at the discretion of the hosts to remove players if they misbehave or can't keep the toolish behaviour elsewhere - these rules are strongly adhered to. Some roleplayers avoid the usual rp hotspots because they get tired of the usual attention-getting/constant-public-affection stuff and hence come to the Fourth Wall.

With that said, do enjoy and if anyone needs an invite to the Fourth for this event, please find either me or @Bombshot.

Well Jam will certainly be pleased about the last bit! How do you want it rped now, though? I interact with all three of your characters, so now not having the female there (again, to Jam's joy) is something I'd like a hint on. The "experiment" is over? Probably simplest.

Ah, just reminded of something actually:

For those of you who are new to the forums and Union rp, and aren't quite sure who is who in the Fourth, or if you want an invitation or care to let people know you want to rp in the Fourth Wall, there's a channel for the Fourth wall. Just /join 4th and you should be able to find me there. I actually forgot about the channel myself and was only reminded of it today *cough* sorry!

Byenvenu! Your host, Jean-Luc Santeres, invites the heroes of Paragon City and the admiring public to Casino Night, running twice a month in King's Row.

We're hoping to put together a little friendly gambling session and time for people to kick back and enjoy themselves with some light banter, especially with all the rather trying times the city has seen lately. As a result, our new charming Texan, Bombshot will be assisting in the hosting of a poker night, and we invite members of the club - and even the mildly curious - to stop in and have a go.

Dates and times will be announced - bring your sack quarters and stay tuned!

*********

The OOC bit:

There have been a considerable amount of new roleplayers around on Union, lately. I've had the pleasure of meeting a few and I've heard their frustration when it comes to trying to find rp - options are a bit slim, and as it was always the intention of Coile to have the Fourth Wall as a gathering place for roleplayers as well as a place for new roleplayers to call home for a while, I'm extending the invitation to new roleplayers to come to the Fourth and meet their fellow rpers, as well as current roleplay supergroups to potentially find new members. While I don't intend on this being a headhunting market, I'd like to see considerably more rp, as a lot of really brilliant rpers seem to be giving up and joining regular supergroups because they just don't know who is out there or can't find the roleplay type they enjoy.

The Fourth has coalition slots, and I will be going through and pruning the inactives to allow for those who are willing to use the Fourth Wall space. If you have an active rping Supergroup and you do intend on coming to use the Fourth for rp sessions, then by all means come find me and we'll sort it out.

If you do not have a supergroup and you want to attend the Fourth Wall meets, just join the Fourth Wall Supergroup itself (either as a member ic or ooc) so you may attend and rp to your hearts content. For up and coming rpers this can be a good choice, as you can group and grind as you like, but the base allows you access to storage and invention machines without having to run all over to find it all.

Bring your plots, your stories, your deeds of valour and your woeful ability to play cards. More details will be forthcoming, but you can always either contact me ingame as @LoupGarou or here in a PM.

I got a mate to go to the latest Con and get a sketch for me. However I thought it could benefit from a bit of colouring and tweaking (possibly I've committed some sort of artistic crime by doing so, but there you are!)
Jean on not the best of days

It did inspire me to attempt to capture Jean when he's a bit less ready to rip out someone's throat, and also to try and put down his more Creole features. Jean Moderately Calmer. When I've more time I'll colour and clean up, as it's blurry and could do with some tweaking

I would imagine it's rather like "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"; when you're penned up with a bunch of criminals, everyone instead opts to be very polite, as [censored] off your neighbours is not a good survival plan.

there's RP_Roundtable which has been said is already in existence. There is the Fourth Wall, which was a club originally created by Coile to house roleplayers. You can either join that and rp in the club itself, or approach me and have your supergroup join. There are quite a few coalitioned members but (and I will say this now and make this a bigger announcement later) if said SGs aren't actually using the space, I'll clear them off and allow an SG who will. It's a nice space and I'm grateful to have it and run it. It's open for events (masquerades, parties, even major hush hush meetings), and also open for redside players if they want to play "look alikes" provided they don't let on too much who they are. Sky's the limit and it is just a matter of people willing to organise it.

There was a fellow a few days back who showed me this AMAZING base he'd created to look like a bowling alley. And it quite literally looks EXACTLY like a bowling alley. I'm sure that would be good for a lighthearted rp laugh with people dressed in coloured t-shirts and symbols for their teams.

Essentially, the players are there, the venues are there, and the willingness is there - what is lacking is the initiative, so if there's something you want to do, use the channel, get involved, step up to the plate.

Aye, RP roundtable is still open. However, like the Fourth, it rather requires people to take a vested interest in it and use it. RP happens when people create it, so rather than sit back and wait, you let, get in there and go for it!

((sorry to see you go, mate. But this is a bloody brilliant idea even so. Fare thee well)

I'm going to have to disagree with the above. Even heroes are "grunts" to one organisation or another. That's what the licenses mean - and joining Vanguard, Ouroboros, or any other organisation can be a good way to rationalise the use of a suit. Sometimes the more mundane explanation for acquiring something for your character makes things more believable than having your own personal billions-of-pounds organisation which you've handed yourself.

Jean-Luc has a suit? Why? Because he has a severe toxic reaction to rikti gas. Yes, a vulnerability! As a result he's testing one of their protective armour-suits, (more a spacesuit than battle-tech) and has to fight with Vanguard for the pleasure. There's ways to make it work and keeping your feet on the ground - whilst still reaching for the stars of course!

Definite update time:

Global Name@LoupGarou
City of Heroes RP characters Loup Garou and Jambalaya (both in the Wiki)
Server Union
Type of rp I'm more than likely always in character, I can't tolerate missions or TFs unless they're ic, and I'm always up for doing an arc, or standing around chatting or whatever works. The Fourth Wall is available as a rp venue for people who are seeking a place to rp without being constantly interrupted. Jean-Luc is definitely my more serious character, and Jambalaya is a bit more "fun" but she has her serious side.
Contact Either here, or ingame, or in mail.
Times on Afternoons M-F, late evenings after 8pm. Weekends are rare for me.
Timezone - British Standard Time.

(Right, I've been asked about this twice now, so I guess I should take the hint and shock this to life. Note this is primarily a concept SG for roleplayers as the concept of having a magic-only supergroup is just too good to pass up. Let's have fun with it!)

Name: S.O.A.R.
Server/Game: Union/Heroes
Theme: A magic-based supergroup for the recovery of magic artifacts (think Indiana Jones meets Witches)
Webpage: S.O.A.R. Wiki page. Forum potentially coming soon if interest warrants it.
Contacts:@LoupGarou either ingame or on forums.
Usual Activities: This is primarily a concept rp group, which I forsee getting together maybe once a week, so this is good for alts or for people who want a more casual roleplaying experience. This supergroup however is primarily about roleplaying, not levelling quickly - I may seek someone to assist with mission running and other responsibilities.
Other Activies: There will be some story arcs which will involve missions and taking on various groups, and we're welcome to also coming head to head with various villain supergroups with some PvP fights in the arena for the right to secure various artifacts.
Admission Notes/Requirments: This supergroup allows only magic-based heroes in its ranks, and such heroes must have an IC-implied endorsement from M.A.G.I as S.O.A.R is underground and secretive. The members of S.O.A.R have sworn a vow of secrecy about the group (never tell anyone about Fight Club). Members must pass a trial before admitted, and are expected to not only participate in events but also form their own arcs and stories; this isn't a group for people who just want to sit back and let other people do the work.
